I am writing to express my strong concern regarding recent actions that threaten Social Security and to urge you to champion Senate companion bills to H.R. 1876 and H.R. 1877, designed to safeguard this essential program. I am deeply troubled by reports of staff reductions, field office closures, the agency’s apparent shift towards X for communication, and service disruptions. These actions appear to be deliberate attempts to weaken Social Security, which provides critical support to over 70 million Americans, including seniors and children. I urge you to lead the effort in the Senate to introduce and support legislation mirroring H.R. 1876, the Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act, and H.R. 1877, the Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act. These bills are essential to preserving access to Social Security and protecting the sensitive data of its beneficiaries. It's critical that Congress acts to assert its authority and defend Social Security against these attacks. I urge you to take immediate action to protect this vital program for current and future generations.
